Call for Papers:
Keynote Speakers:

basis of cognition
 - Isabelle Dautriche (CNRS, Aix-Marseille Université) on conceptual
operations before and outside language
 - Ira Noveck (CNRS, Université de Paris) on logical terms and

 - Tadeusz Zawidzki (George Washington University) on mindshaping
Each keynote talk will be followed by a related interdisciplinary
symposium.
The Society invites the submission of papers, posters and symposia.
Submissions are refereed and selected on the basis of quality and
relevance to psychologists, philosophers and linguists. If you have
any questions, contact us by writing an email to espp2026 at gmail.com.
Submission Instructions:
The deadline for all submissions is the 2nd of February 2026.
Submissions should be made online via EasyChair:
https://easychair.org/conferences?conf=espp2026
Papers should be designed to be presentable within 20 minutes (for a
total 30-minute session). Submissions should consist of an abstract of
up to 1000 words (excluding bibliography). If required, an additional
page of tables and/or graphs may be included. Please note that, while
1000 words is the maximum, shorter abstracts are perfectly acceptable.
For example, we find that abstracts for papers which will report
experimental studies can often convey the required information in 500
words.
A submission for a poster presentation should consist of a 500-word
abstract.
When submitting your paper or poster online, please first indicate the
primary discipline of your paper (philosophy, psychology, or
linguistics) and whether your submission is intended as a paper or a
poster. Submitted papers may also be considered for presentation as a
poster if space constraints prevent acceptance as a paper or if the
submission is thought more suitable for presentation as a poster. All
paper and poster submissions (whether abstracts or full papers) should
be in .doc or PDF-format and should be properly anonymized in order to
allow for blind refereeing.
Each person may only present one paper. This includes any paper that
forms part of a submitted symposium. If you submit multiple papers and
more than one is accepted, you will be asked to choose which you would
like to present.
Submitted symposia are distinct from the invited symposia attached to
keynote talks, and may be on any topic relevant to the ESPP. They are
allocated a two-hour slot and consist of a set of four linked papers
on a common theme or three linked papers with an introduction. In
general, symposia should include perspectives from at least two of the
three disciplines represented in the society (philosophy, psychology
and linguistics), and they should not have exclusively male speakersIf
there are specific reasons for not adhering to these norms in your
proposed symposium, please explain this in your submission.
Submissions should be made by symposium organizers (not speakers).
When submitting a symposium proposal online, your submissions should
include the following three elements in a single PDF: (1) A list of 3
or 4 speakers which indicates representation of at least two
disciplines (individual speakers may also represent multiple
disciplines). (2) A general abstract of up to 500 words, laying out
the topics to be addressed and indicating connections among the talks
(3) Individual abstracts of up to 500 words and provisional titles for
each talk. Please do not submit more than one PDF file per symposium.
General Aim:
The aim of the European Society for Philosophy & Psychology is to
promote interaction between philosophers, psychologists and linguists
on issues of common concern. Psychologists, neuroscientists,
linguists, computer scientists and biologists are encouraged to report
experimental, theoretical and clinical work that they judge to have
philosophical significance; and philosophers are encouraged to engage
with the fundamental issues addressed by and arising out of such work.
In recent years ESPP sessions have covered such topics as theory of
mind, attention, reference, problems of consciousness, introspection
and self-report, emotion, perception, early numerical cognition,
spatial concepts, infants’ understanding of intentionality, memory and
time, motor imagery, counterfactuals, the semantics/pragmatics
distinction, comparative cognition, minimalism in linguistic theory,
reasoning, vagueness, mental causation, action and agency, thought
without language, externalism, hypnosis, and the interpretation of
neuropsychological results.
